Burger King have started an unusual new offer where you can win a free Whopper. All you have to do is sacrifice ten of your friends on social networking destination Facebook.{ad}

The process of getting your free Whopper burger is quite simple. All you have to do is install the WHOPPER Sacrifice app on your Facebook profile. Then you need to start getting rid of some friends and when you reach ten sacrifices you are issued with a coupon for a free burger.

The sacrifices aren’t something you can do on the quiet, however. Every time you sacrifice someone your activity will show, “jchn sacrificed Joel Kaplin for a free Whopper” with the appropriate names. This isn’t also a cheap way to feed yourself if you have hundreds of friends as you can only get one coupon per profile.

Matthew’s Opinion
This really turns the tables on the whole friends network idea. It is bound to be a popular application because it involves getting food for free and I’d love to see the effect it has on the Facebook network as a whole in terms of how many friends profiles have.

There are some easy ways around getting rid of your friends though. You could accept 10 new friends before installing the app and then just sacrifice them. Or you can re-friend the 10 you sacrifice after you have the coupon.

On Burger King’s part it’s a great idea as it is “different” and has already got people talking and laughing about sacrificing friends for food.
